Description

An intellectual history of occult and esoteric currents in the English-speaking world from the early Romantic period to the early 20th century, pivoting on the Theosophical Society which during the late 19th century temporarily united all the currents. Argues that Theosophy owed more to the skeptical Enlightenment of the 18th century than to spiritual enlightenment. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.show more
